Troubleshooting Guide Ardo Melia
1. No or weak vacuum
Make sure that the Ardo Melia is correctly assembled, in particular that the edge of the breast
shell is completely over the edge of the collection cup (press firmly with both hands). Also
check that the lip valve is correctly aligned.
Make sure that the individual parts are not damaged, especially the lip valve.
2. Pain when pumping
Pumping should not be painful. However, if this is the case, check the following points:
Ensure that the nipple is in the middle of the funnel.
•
•
Check that the size of the breast shell / breast shell insert is right for your nipples.
Check that the vacuum intensity is not set too high.
•
•
Contact a professional for help.
3. The Ardo Melia is leaking.
The silicone nipple shells of the Ardo Melia can become tired after a certain amount of time
due to pumping, washing and sterilising. Occasionally, a pump will start to leak. The shirt
underneath the breasts then gets wet when pumping. Even if you then put the filled breast
pump down, a little milk will leak out at the bottom.
It is then time to replace the breast shells. Once the user has new breast shells, everything is
leak-proof again.
This is one of the reasons why we also offer the breast shells as replacement items.

We expect that such cases will occur occasionally after approx. 3 months. For users who
pump very frequently, i.e. perhaps 6 times a day, we must also expect it to occur earlier.
We will also mention in the instructions for use that wear and tear can occur and that the
silicone parts can then be replaced.
4. The battery only lasts for 2 pumping sessions of 20 minutes each after 2
hours charging time and not for at least 100 minutes as written in the
instructions for use.
The Ardo Melia was probably charged with a plug/plugs that are not as powerful.
For the Ardo Melia to be fully charged after 2 hours of charging, you must choose a plug (or 2
plugs) with the following minimum specifications (usually indicated on the plug itself):
